The point is that pitchers in real baseball have to be pinch hit for in extra innings which makes extra innings shorter. The league hosed itself with their dumb universal DH rule which means the ghost runner which means dumb poo poo

universal DH is mega stupid bullshit. part of the fun of the WS was watching AL pitchers looking clueless at bat (does not apply to Zack Greinke)

Austin Hedges is the post-season seraph of the Pittsburgh Pirates taken flight. He is here to gently caress up your dreams.
